Am I the only Hellmuth fan on PL?

DeepBlueDevilFish · 28-04-2005, 15:59

I was quite impressed with him when I saw him on C4's Late Night poker series a few years back. Talked incessantly though but I think this was a tactic he used to upset his opponents concentration.

aliensyndm · 28-04-2005, 16:31

I love watching hellmuth play. He's a big baby cnut at times but certainly interesting to watch and certainly very very talented !
Sad thing is beacuse of his attitue he may well be remembered for this rather than his exceptional poker skills.
He's kinda like a poker john macenroe.
I mean you could watch some very good players play poker and be all nicey nice etc.....is that entertaining ? Not really in my book. Or you could watch hellmuth.
I know which I would rather be doing.

Norfolk Enchance · 28-04-2005, 19:59

I'm a Hellmuth fan in the same way I'm a Mourinho fan if that makes sense. Hellmuth is a great poker player and very entertaining. I love watching him play

dave · 28-04-2005, 20:03

Yeah, agree completely Norfolk. Mourinho and Hellmuth are just the same, as was Prince Naseem, all great entertainers.

Markpl1 · 28-04-2005, 20:33

Yep i will echo everyones thoughts on Phil. Great to watch esp when some deals him a bad beat. Don't think I would enjoy playing against him, ask Dave Colclough. Hellmuth has been completely outline towards dave in the past for no good reason.

Jezza · 29-04-2005, 08:02

He is a great player of that there is no doubt, watching him win the final of late night poker the year he was in it was the best televisied display of poker skill of the whole of LNP (second would prob be peter costas win). However he is a total cock, of this there is no doubt either

- so yes fun to watch and one of the most entertaining players you can get on TV but he can go fcuk himself really.

He does however truly seem to believe he is the best poker player on the planet when this is clearly not the case - if he ever refutes this then show him the WPT season 1 episode where he famously gets it royally stuck up him by antonio

i think there are a lot of social misfits out there playing professional poker (not you Jezza

), Hellmuth fits right into that mould IMO
